"Uh oh" coding

[brielle.stark]

Hello!

We encounter a ton of "uh oh" in our transcripts.... is it most correct to code these as:

&uh &oh

vs. 

uhoh@i

thank you!

[brielle.stark]

or indeed: *uhoh

Thanks :)

Brie,

If "uhoh" is used as in "oops", I'd recommend simply transcribing it as one word -- uhoh.  It will be coded as a communicator, which is good.  If you do &uh &oh they'll be considered fillers or fragments.  Also, a reminder that you can distinguish the & entries by using &- for fillers and &+ for fragments.  Hope that helps.

Dear Brie,

    Over a year ago, in order to better support fluency coding, we introduced a distinction between the use of the ampersand to mark non-words and its use to mark filler words.  For filler words, we added the hyphen mark as in &-uh and &-um.  It is clear that &-uh is always a filler.  However, the sound "oh" is often what we would call a "co" or communicator, as in "Oh, I didn't realize that."   If it is a real word communicator, then it is just oh.  If it is a filler, which is rather rare, then it is &-oh.  We still use the basic & mark as in &gok for things that are just non-words.  And there are a two more uses of the ampersand, including &=text as in &=laughs for laughing and &* for interposed words (section 9.10.2 of the manual).
